The question asks, "List college extracurricular activities and honors."
They are basically asking for your experiences in research, tutoring, volunteering through the university, etc..

For the second question, you should include various activities you participated in within the community. For example, have you ever helped out at a soup kitchen? Have you coached a little league baseball team? Have you participated in any church-related activities? You can also include your volunteering experiences at local hospitals in this area and repeat them in question #4.

I decided to attach all my information to the green form. As long as you mention something like, "Please see attached form", I think that they'll accept your documents.
